Pingo Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 http://www.reapermin.../sku-down/03452 Culk, Rake. DONE What I find interesting is that although he's dressed like a male pin-up, that's not what I think of as a pin-up pose. He's on display, yes, but it doesn't strike me as one aimed at the female gaze, as it were. (Very few eye-candy males look like they're saying "RRRAWWRRRGH.") It's interesting that the clothes alone are enough for some to classify this figure as "steamy." Although to be fair I guess some people classify females dressed in revealing outfits as "steamy" no matter how they're posed or what they're doing. Are there male figures in poses as ... not sure how to put this ... inviting as many female figures are? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakandara Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Are there male figures in poses as ... not sure how to put this ... inviting as many female figures are? Nope. Cuz we (the gender) look dumb doing it. Women are so much better at that then us. ~v 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(very funny, safe for work) But what about poses like this (classical art, safe for work) or this? (classical art, NSFW!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakandara Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I'd still say the majority of us probably can't pull off the classical art poses either. Then again, that could be personal bias towards the fairer sex, but I think there is at least some truth to it. ~v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miar Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 In terms of men in more feminine poses I would say very possible. I have an old classmate from highschool that found me on facebook a few years back. He's ex-army, comic book nut (has large tattoos of comic characters like Hawkman on his back), acts in muscicals, is a bodybuilder (exercise coach and bartends), won Mr. Leather a few years back (he judged this year) and is very gay. Suffice to say my facebook is sometimes taken over by gay, body building people into leather. I can definitively say I've seen some come hither photos that burn my eyeballs a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slendertroll Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Funny how you never hear women complain that seeing depictions of mostly-naked women burns their eyes... Not sure what point I'm making here; just something that occurred to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miar Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Well when you get body builders posing wearing almost nothing and what little there is a bit below the hipbones threatening to slide further. I have other friends that swing to that side to and would probably describe it as eye searing as well. Depending on where you are coming from even if you do find that sex attractive your own personal preference in acceptable levels of come hither in public differs. Similar I would think to how accepting you might be to PDAs. I know some woman and men that have much higher or lower tolerances for those types of things. I don't have any problems with the storm giantess or any given Reaper model and I did like that a lot of females are represented.. But at the same time as the Kickstarter went by I wanted to see less busty models that I felt would be more realistic. A lot of these are sword swinging woman. If you see pictures of female body builders they don't have much up there most of the time. It's all muscle muscle muscle. Also most of the people I play board games with are men and though we do play female characters once in a while most of the time we play men more which means for character sculpts male minis are a bit more useful on the table.

Although to be fair I guess some people classify females dressed in revealing outfits as "steamy" no matter how they're posed or what they're doing. Are there male figures in poses as ... not sure how to put this ... inviting as many female figures are? Yes, but throughout these discussions is the assumption that women find "steamy" the male version of what men find same. Women are not as visually-oriented as men, including what they find sexual. That's why romance *novels* are oriented towards women, while men's magazines.. aren't. (Is Playgirl still on the racks?) I'm also shrugging my shoulders that traditional fantasy miniatures are important to (sweeping generalization) women in the first place. Yes, there are many women who paint these sort of miniatures, but if you look on, say, pinterest or tumblr, these sort of miniatures aren't even on the radar. It reminds me of the days when fanboys would argue about how comics weren't female-friendly (eg. the girlfriend in the refrigerator). While they were arguing, the manga market steamrolled past comic books because they were more than female versions of traditional comic books. Now, you'll excuse me while I catch up on my scrapbooking and dollhouse threads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokingwreckage Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Yeah, if you look on sports boards they aren't on the radar either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
